I took santhia classes and they told me not to pronounce these.  A granthi also told me not to pronounce them.  When I listen to Gurbani online or on TV, they don't pronounce them either.  This is wrong, because by not pronouncing them you are sometimes changing the meaning of the saloks.

that is strange, because these can be pronounced lightly without changing the meanings. let me see if I can find a video where this is pronounced.

like some paat I listen to when the paati is saying: 

ੴ ਸਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ
EK ONG KAR SAT GUR PRASAD

 they are saying prasad(i), like pronouncing the sihari.

The sihari is quite light compared to bihari, so not everyone will notice.

Because, remember, the way we speak punjabi is different from British English. Like for standard english you try and say the words as-is. But in punjabi we have accents, and the sihari and aunkar for words also kind of adds an accent.

Like if someone has the name Deepinder or Bhupinder, some people especially outside punjab may right their names as Deepindra or Bhupindra. And I don't think this is as strong as using a kanna, it's just a little bit of desi accent in the end!

Deepindra or Bhupindra are the classical spellings of the name.  

The word Bhakt and Bhakti are two different words.  Bhakti is spelt with a siharee and you can hear it clearly.  If you skip that siharee than you are saying Bhakt.

Nope,

ਭਗਤੀ bhakti/bhagti/bhagtee is spelt with a bihari, that is why you hear it clearly.

 

with a siharee it becomes

ਭਗਤਿ bhagat(i)/ bhakt(i)

there will still be some change in pronouncing the akhar at the end, than without the siharee.

With the siharee you don't hear it clearly within the context you are talking about.

so why is the siharee clearly pronounced in 'SatiNaam'?

also- Praanpati in Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Bani- the siharee should be pronounced.  The word is Pati not Pat.

The word is ਭਗਤਿ , ਭਗਤੀ is either another form of the word or has an biharee for grammatical reasons.  

Bhagti without the Sihari is Bhagat, and refers to a person, which is a different form of the word to Bhagti which refers to the practice/concept.  Pronouncing Bhagti as Bhagat is not right.

Even in Sat(i)naam, the sihari is faint, it's not clear like a bihari, it is not satee-naam is it now?!

yes it's not right, but even the siharee makes a slight difference in pronunciation even if it is faint.

The sihari slightly extends the sound of a letter instead of going straight towards pronouncing the next letter! I reckon it makes a letter half a second longer or so in pronunciation.

the same word bhagti when used in normal everyday language, the 'i' is clearly pronounced, not 'subtle'.

look of some of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Bani:

ਬਿਨ ਭਗਤਿ ਸਕਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਰਤ ਪਾਨ ॥

The bhagti and shakti words- the 'i' is clearly pronounced.  its not read 'bhakt' and 'shakt'.

Also, the word Praan Pati- the 'i' is clearly spoken.  Its not 'Praan Pat'.

On another token, I'm not sure why either you or anyone else pledges 'blue', since Guru Gobind Singh pretty famously exchanged his blue robes for white ones and then ripped the blue clothes to shreds.

whether they can be clearly heard or not, we both agree that they are indeed pronounced! However I think I still think that many people will not clearly hear the shabad with sihari.

 

And yes, I do pledge to the blue nishaan sahib!

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!

      Sanjog, Marriage, Destiny, & Free Will

      By Jassu · Posted

      the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.

      Islam has become Redpilled in the West...Everyone is converting to Islam

      By Jassu · Posted

      andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.

      stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect.
